Hello @Popeye​ ,

The electronic speed control (ESC) feature allows to control the motor speed with a PWM signal in input, for example on the B-G431B-ESC1 boards it is possible to use this feature to control the motors of a drone sending a PWM signal with a different duty cycle to switch the motor to armed, armed with a minimum speed, armed with a maximum speed and unarmed state.

You can find more details on this example on this link : click here

on the chapter "Connection and first execution of the electronic  speed controller (ESC) program".

thank you

I see. So this enables speed control via PWM. That's quite misleading. Thank you!
